I enjoyed this short story about a couple of children who almost join the circus due to their unique talents.

A great wish-fulfillment story, which I only encountered as an adult. I love the exchange between Peter and his headmaster at the end!

I think that story is perhaps the only one I haven't read in EB's Treasury! I'll have to put that right! I think it was because I read all the shorter stories first, intending to read the longer ones afterwards. I read the 'Caravan Holiday' one quite recently but haven't got round to reading The Wild West Kids yet.

I really love the illustrations in 'EB's Treasury' - particularly the colour plates by the various artists. It's a lovely book. :-)

I love this book and the stories inside it. I would have been over the moon to receive this book as a child but I wasn't introduced to this book until I joined the society.
